The LA city council jumped on the bandwagon with the Boston city council and others around the country in boycotting Arizona over the newly passed illegal immigration law SB-1070. This time Arizona is fighting back. Read the letter written by Gary Pierce, a commissioner on the five-member Arizona Corporation Commission is telling Antonio Villaraigosa, the Mayor of LA, to either seriously cut all ties with Arizona (including the electricity) or reconsider the wisdom of a boycott. A good chunk of LA's power comes from Arizona. If the boycott continues Arizona could potentially pull the plug on LA. Is Obama's lack of leadership polarizing the country and vetting state against state? Is it fair for Obama to take sides with certain states over others? Aren't we called the "United" States? It is it called when the federal government starts lording over the states?

Boston City Council Boycotts Arizona May 8, 2010
(NECN: Scot Yount, Boston) - Boston is taking a stand against the state of Arizona and its recently passed stiff immigration law. The city council approved by a unanimous voice vote a resolution calling for the city to pull investments from the Grand Canyon State in protest. Felix Arroyo/City Councilor: "As a city we do not believe in racial profiling to be good public policy and we believe to be an infringement on the constitutional rights of our citizens and the people who live in this country." Does the Arizona law even call for racial profiling? Have any of the Boston City Council Read the SB 1070 Law? What other laws should be ignored due to political correctness?
